Thank you for joining us for this year’s Write for Rights campaign! The resources on this page will help you and your students participate in Write for Rights, Amnesty International’s largest annual global grassroots letter writing campaign, focusing on individual cases of human rights abuses around the world.

We are celebrating 23 years of people like you taking action around the world calling for the release of prisoners of conscience, supporting human rights defenders in need, and seeking justice for past human rights abuses. Here you will find all the necessary materials you will need to run a successful Write for Rights campaign. Thank you and your students for learning about this year’s 10 cases and for taking action!

Please don’t forget to REPORT your actions. Reporting is important as it helps us quantify our impact and we share these numbers with government authorities and policy makers. Have any questions, email us at [email protected].

Write for Rights works!

In Write for Rights 2023, letters from students supported and amplified the voice of Kyrgyzstani human rights defender Rita Karasartova, who was arrested for demanding transparency in a new border agreement giving control of a reservoir to Uzbekistan. Facing a sentence of up to 15 years in prison, hundreds of thousands of people globally supported Rita by signing petitions and sending letters and tweets to the Kyrgyzstani authorities. Rita was acquitted on June 14, 2024. Thank you to all of you who participated in this campaign last year! Read more good news stories here.
